We are Catholic and for as long as I can remember we have observed Lent. Last night we went out for supper and ate WAY too much (for the first year I udnerstand the meaning of Fat Tuesday). I have decided this year to do two things- I am giving up all candy/chocolate, pop and fast food, but I am also going to start exercising. I was supposed to start tonight on the tredmill and tomorrow at the pool but I've hurt my back and go to the chiropractor again on Friday so I think i might hold off to not make things worse- however, today is day one without my cadbury eggs

Sidenote- If you count 40 days from Ash Wednesday to EAster Sunday- there are too many days- if you count and DON"T include Sundays- there are 40 days- some people take Sunday's off and eat wahtever it is they gave up.
